BUZZING MANCHESTER WALKING TOUR ITINERARY
Castlefield Urban Heritage Park in the centre of Manchester is largely unexplored and an ideal location to begin you walking tour! The park offers a unique perspective of the city, its history & industrial legacy.
Don't shy away from what was once an integral part of Manchester's history. A brief look into the Manchester Museum of Science and Industry (MoSI). Your local expert will show you a small part of the museum but will also give you some insights into the areas you may wish to visit at a later stage.
Manchester has a rich musical history! One of the most iconic places is The Hacienda. Made famous for its part within the Madchester movement of the 1980’s and 1990’s, this building is a story in itself!
Continuing the musical theme, welcome to Bridgewater Hall, a primary concert venue for the BBC Philharmonic! This hall has hosted many musical talents and your guide will let you in on a few secrets surrounding the building and the musicians who played here. In addition to this, the hall is met by the Bridgewater Canal which runs throughout the city, and creates the perfect stop to learn more about these fascinating waterways.
The heart of the city offers some magnificent architecture and sights - discover the beautiful Manchester Central Library or take a peak into the Manchester Art Gallery. Explore the statues & monuments in the square and let your local expert take you on a journey like a local...
Continue into the next city centre square. Welcome to St. Ann's, home to the famous Sam's Chop House! This restaurant has a140 year old history, unique timber panelling inside and, in addition, is where you will be able to sit next to L S Lowry! Your guide will reveal all...
Welcome to Exchange Square, home to the Royal Exchange Theatre, a fabulous Grade II listed building telling the story of trade & industry (and the power it brought). Take a walk through the stunning shopping arcades giving you a true sense of place... Here you will also find the up-market & chic department store, Selfridges. It is a must for anyone who enjoys some retail therapy!
Closely located near Exchange Square lies the beautiful Manchester Cathedral, built between 1421 and 1882. Enjoy a walk through time inside this magnificent building. If you would like a more in-depth tour of the cathedral, let us know when booking your tour. After your walk through the cathedral, enjoy the Cathedral Gardens, maybe a well-earned coffee and break...
Chetham’s Library has been in continuous use as a public library for over 350 years. It is housed in a beautiful sandstone building dating from 1421 which was built to accommodate the priests of Manchester’s Collegiate Church.
Sited between Piccadilly and the Ancoats, the Northern Quarter retains a unique character and charm. Manchester's creative, urban heart is home to countless independent fashion stores, record shops, cafés, bars and restaurants and the world famous Afflecks Palace, providing affordable outlets for independent designers and traders across four floors. This is also the place to see murals of the famous Manchester Bee (and understand all about that buzzz!) during your Manchester walking tour.
This garden is more than simply a place of rest and tranquility. You are at the heart of history and should definitely take a seat next to Alan Turing, the father of the modern computer and one of the unsung heroes during World War II. The park was chosen because, "It's got the university science buildings on one side and its got all the gay bars on the other side, where apparently he spent most of his evenings". The full extraordinary story of Alan Turing will be told by your local guide.
End your Manchester walking tour and insight into how the city ticks at Manchester's Deansgate. You will be able to visit John Rylands Library which is home to one of the world’s richest and most unique collections of books, manuscripts, maps, works of art and objects. Your guide will also be able to point you in the right direction for some local scran!
